BirthOrigin*

Isaak was from Madagascar and perhaps born there circa 1666.¹

Slave Transactions

On 6 March 1687 Isaak van Madagascar and Paul van Madagascar were sold by Sibrand de Fraij to Jan Dircks de Beer, for Rds. 85. De Faij subsequently disputed this transaction, saying he had only sold a second slave to De Beer, in addition to the sale of Theange van Madagascar recorded two days prior.²
On 8 September 1687 Daniel van Madagascar, Claes van de Kust and Isaak van Madagascar were sold by Jan Dircksen de Beer to Matthys Michels, for Rds. 70 each.³

A note added states that Sibrand de Fraij refused to sign the above deed, as Jan Dircx de Beer bought only one slave, Theange from Madagascar, for Rds. 40 and one other slave for Rds. 45, and not both slaves mentioned in this deed.
